What was the best thing about Farscape for you?
Being on a show that was a hit was such a wonderful thing to have happened. We only knew it was a hit by the time we got to [the Farscape convention at] Burbank, and saw fans for the first time, because it hadn't been aired in Australia at that point. We had no idea if it was good, bad or ugly.
We arrived in Burbank, California, for the first Farscape convention, and stepped out on stage and there were close to a thousand people in the audience. Up until that point we had no idea, but as soon as I stepped out on that stage I thought, "Oh gosh, this is really fugging different. I think we're on to a hit here."
It gave us great impetus to keep on playing, when we went back to Australia. We were shooting it in isolation there. It was like being dressed for a party, but there wasn't a party around.
It's been confirmed every year [when] I've gone to various conventions, how popular it really was, and what a cult hit it was.
The great spinoff is I get to meet people from other shows, people from Star Trek, people from Babylon 5, Catwoman, it's fantastic. When I'm invited to conventions I really love it, and I enjoy the aspect of the travel as well. I've been to London twice and also to America, and I wouldn't have had an opportunity to do that if I hadn't have been on the show.
